Reflective Practice: International and Multidisciplinary Perspectives is a refereed journal publishing papers which seeks to address one or more of the following themes:
The different kinds of reflective practice and the purposes they serve
Reflection and the generation of knowledge in particular professions
The ways reflection is taught and learned most meaningfully
The links between reflective learning and the quality of workplace action
Reflective Practice: International and Multidisciplinary Perspectives publishes original, challenging and stimulating work which explores reflection within and on practice, as a collective activity, that concerns personal knowing and transformation, collective regeneration and political activism, reflection and voice, values, negotiated meaning, identity and community.
Reflective Practice: International and Multidisciplinary Perspectives includes papers that address the connections between reflection, knowledge generation, practice and policy. The journal also publishes shorter pieces on recent initiatives, reports of work in progress, proposals for collaborative research, theoretical positions, knowledge reported in poetic, diagrammatic and narrative form illuminated by line drawings and photography, provocative problem and question-posing thought pieces, reflective dialogues and creative reflective conversations. Reflective Practice also incorporates, from time to time, Special Issues on 'hot' topics.
Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on a three-fold process of initial editor screening, double anonymized review by two of the journal’ referees and a final judgement by the editor.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
